.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The shell script
|
|
.Nm
|
|
found in the
|
|
.Dq Pa /dev
|

takes any number of device names as arguments, where the names are
|
|
the common abbreviation for the device.
|
|
There are two special devices,
|
|
.Dq std
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq local .
|
|
The former creates the standard devices for the architecture.
|
|
The latter is for devices specific to the local site, and
|
|
executes the shell file
|
|
.Dq Pa MAKEDEV.local .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The i386 supports the following devices.
|
|
Where a device name is followed by a hash sign (
|
|
.Dq #
|
|
), the hash sign
|
|
must be replaced by a unit number.
